That’s clever, except the tip amount strikes me as being rather small. I usually tip between 15-20%.
Hot debate. What do you think?

Not just irrational, but only 12% or so assuming the check was about $25 before tax.
Right, Will! There are good reasons for such a tip: Maybe the service was substandard, maybe cash was left, too (by someone who didn’t pick up the check), etc. Just go with the humor! Quite clever… -former waiter

Not quite… the digits “14″ after “30.00″ should be eliminated.
If I was a server I wouldn’t care that it’s slightly small, it’s the idea that is great

Yup, I agree. An extra $1 would have put the tip over 15%. The smile this brought to the waiter’s face would have been worth far more than $1.00.
What is the proper for –
a sit down meal?
take-out?
a haircut?
My guess is a bakery.
As a server, I would think to myself “what an ass.” I’d take the extra dollar – waiters rarely gravitate toward obscure geek humor.
So the guy knows about pi but doesn’t understand decimal placement?

So, what is the “proper” tip amount? This is an age-old debate.
Small tip…
Maybe the diner left additional cash as a tip, so as not to ruin the clever joke.
